Efforts are underway in West Dunbartonshire to ensure young adults have the skills and confidence needed to secure employment and build sustainable careers. Recent employment figures point to progress in the region, with the claimant count down by 12% compared to last year. The scheme offers targeted support to help young people build confidence, develop employability skills and engage with the local labour market. Work coaches offer practical help with job searching, applications, interview preparation and access to training opportunities. For those facing additional barriers, youth employability coaches provide one-to-one support, while the Flexible Support Fund can help cover costs like travel, equipment or clothing.
